GRR: Olympus
Highland HS moved to 8-0 with a nicely-taken result of Olympus Friday.
After playing some games where they won comfortably, Highland had a chance to build on their earlier win over well-regarded Herriman, and did so, dispatching Olympus 44-10.
Lock forward Tevita Noa, and flankers Ismael Vaifoou and Lilo Clark were very strong on the day. Clark is also the team captain.
Friday and Saturday Snow Canyon HS hosts five other highly-regarded HS teams in a tournament in St. George, Utah.
The defending Utah single-school champion, Snow Canyon already defeated defending Arizona champion Red Mountain 50-19 in late January and will look to get a repeat performance
Defending Utah state champs Kau Toa bested Skyline Rugby Club Saturday, showcasing a nice combinations of speed and power.
This was a big win for Kau Toa due to the history between the two teams. Last year Kau Toa's only regular season loss came at the hands of Skyline during the Utah Open Tournament, a week before the playoffs.
